I have had blood poison for ten years. I know I hare taken one hundred bottle? of
iodide or potnsh in that time, but it did me no good. Last summer my face, neck, body
and limbs were covered with sores, and 1 could scarcely use my arms on account of rheu?
matism in my shoulders. 1 took S. S. S., and it has done me more good than all other medi?
cines I have taken, il y face, body and neck are perfectly clear and clean, and my rheu?
matism is entirely gone. I weighed 116 pound* when 1 began the medicine, and I now weigh
152 pounds. ? My first bottle helped me greatly, and gave me an appetite like a strong man.
1 would not be without S. S. S. for several times its weight in gold. ,

A WELL TRIED TREATMENT
For Consumption, Asthma, Bronchitis,
Dyspepsia, Catarrh, Bay Fever,
Headache, Debility, Rlieumatism,
Neuralgia, and all Chronic and
Nervous Disorders.
When 'Compound Oxygen' is inhaled, the
heart has imparted to it increased vitality.
That organ sends forth the blood with more
force and less wear to itself; the vital cur?
rents leave on their circuit new deposits of
vital force, in every cell ot tissue over which
they pass, and return again to the longs for
a new-supply. This isa rational explanation
of the greatest advance medical science has
yet made.
'The Compound Oxvjren Treatment,' Drs.
Starkey & Palen, No. 1529 Arch Street, Phil?
adelphia, have been, using for the las,t sixteen
years, ia a scient ?fie adjustment of tbe:efements j
of Oxygen ind Nitrogen magne?zed,^st??. the
compound is so condensed and made portable
.that it is sent all over the world.
